CVE-2026-27977

A CSRF check bypass flaw has been discovered in Next.js. In the next dev, cross-site protection for internal websocket endpoints could treat Origin: null as a bypass case even if allowedDevOrigins is configured, allowing privacy-sensitive/opaque contexts (for example sandboxed documents) to connect unexpectedly. If a dev server is reachable from attacker-controlled content, an attacker may be able to connect to the HMR websocket channel and interact with dev websocket traffic. This affects development mode only. Apps without a configured allowedDevOrigins still allow connections from any origin.
